Mother Mary said at Fatima: "My Immaculate Heart will be your refuge and the sure way which will lead you to God." St. Thomas Aquinas said: "The things we love tell us who we are!" With that in mind, I will try to post each day something about Our Blessed Lady, items about the Holy Roman Catholic Church, and public domain Catholic books too! I pray you enjoy my ministry! Below are two albums of pictures that I created: 1. Our grand daughter Adrianna. 2. Tears of Mary!

Message From Our Lady in Medjugorje to Marija August 25, 2019

Mary TV: August 23, 2019 Reflection - Prayer is indispensable to life!

St. Rose of Lima
Dear Family of Mary!
On Sunday, Our Lady will give us another message. We have become so secure in that reality. She never leaves us. She always comes. And she gives us the message because she is faithful and she knows how much we need her.
I like to look back at the last 25th message to again take time with it. There is a continuity. On July 25, Our Lady spoke to us about the first stone, prayer! She probably speaks the most about prayer. Prayer is foundational to her entire school. When I do a find in my message document, it says that there are more than 1000 times that 'pray' or 'prayer' is found. I suspect there are many more than 1000.
She never tires of calling us to prayer. "My call for you is prayer." I would say her fundamental call is prayer. Why? Without prayer we cannot find God. Without prayer we have no connection with God. Prayer is a living relationship with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Prayer brings us into the Communion of the Trinity. Prayer binds us to God. And only God can lead us to eternal life. Without prayer we have no future, no hope, no truth, no light.
Our Lady tells us:
May we make a firm commitment in these very decisive times to pray, in the day and night. This is the 1st stone in Our Lady's hand, the primary stone. It may very well be that stone that David grasped from his bag and placed in his sling. It may have been the stone that mortally wounded Goliath. It is the stone we must pick up first as well. Without this stone, we will be of no use to Our Lady.
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Dear Family of Mary!
"Dear children! My call for you is prayer. May prayer be a joy for you and a wreath which binds you to God. Little children, trials will come, and you will not be strong, and sin will reign but, if you are mine, you will win, because your refuge will be the Heart of my Son Jesus. Therefore, little children, return to prayer until prayer becomes life for you in the day and the night. Thank you for having responded to my call." (July 25, 2019)

Prayer binds us to God. And only God can lead us to eternal life. Without prayer we have no future, no hope, no truth, no light.
Our Lady tells us:
"Prayer a wreath which binds you to God...." (7/25/19)
"Therefore, little children, return to prayer until prayer becomes life for you in the day and the night." (7/25/19)"Prayer is indispensable to life." (1/1/84)
"When you pray, you must feel more. Prayer is a conversation with God. To pray means to listen to God. Prayer is useful for you because after prayer everything is clear. Prayer makes one know happiness. Prayer can teach you how to cry. Prayer can teach how to blossom. Prayer is not a joke. Prayer is a dialogue with God." (10/20/84)
"Dear children! Today I call you to prayer. I am with you and I love you all. I am your Mother and I wish that your hearts be similar to my heart. Little children, without prayer you cannot live and say that you are mine. Prayer is joy. Prayer is what the human heart desires. Therefore, get closer, little children, to my Immaculate Heart and you will discover God." (11/25/94)
"...pray, pray, pray, because prayer is the foundation of your peace." (6/25/97)
"Dear children! Today I invite you to respond to my call to prayer. I desire, dear children, that during this time you find a corner for personal prayer. I desire to lead you towards prayer with the heart. Only in this way will you comprehend that your life is empty without prayer. You will discover the meaning of your life when you discover God in prayer. That is why, little children, open the door of your heart and you will comprehend that prayer is joy without which you cannot live. Thank you for having responded to my call." (7/25/97)
"Also today I am calling all of you to prayer. You cannot live without prayer, because prayer is a chain which brings you closer to God." (1/25/16)
"Dear children! Today I am calling you to be people of prayer. Pray until prayer becomes a joy for you and a meeting with the Most High. He will transform your hearts and you will become people of love and peace. Do not forget, little children, that Satan is strong and wants to draw you away from prayer. You, do not forget that prayer is the secret key of meeting with God. That is why I am with you to lead you. Do not give up on prayer. Thank you for having responded to my call." (8/25/17)
"You must comprehend that your prayer is a conversation of a child with the Father..." (4/2/11)
"Dear children, you must understand that one has to pray. Prayer is no joke; prayer is a conversation with God. In every prayer you must listen to the voice of God. Without prayer one cannot live. Prayer is life." (Jelena 9/10/84)

Mary TV: August 22, 2019 Reflection - The Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary
(c)Mary TV 2019 - Anthony Zubac
"Is she not a rainbow in the clouds reaching towards God, the
pledge of a covenant of peace? "Look upon the rainbow, and bless Him
that made it; surely it is beautiful in its brightness. It encompasses
the heaven about with the circle of its glory, the hands of the Most
High have displayed it." (Pope Pius XII)
August 22, 2019
The Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary!
Dear Family of Mary!
Today we honor Mary as our Queen!! This feast has not been long declared. Pope Pius XII declared it on October 11, 1954, just four years after he proclaimed the Dogma of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1950. It made sense that if Mary had been assumed into heaven, body and soul, she would now be seated at the right hand of her Son, in royal splendor. And so a feast in her honor as Queen of Heaven would benefit all the faithful! We would have recourse to our Queen for all our ills.
Here is an excerpt from the encyclical. It seems long, but you will love reading it, as it speaks so well of the joy and glory of Our Lady!! The more we understand how God has raised her up, the better we will recognize the correctness of our recourse to her. She is our Mother and she is the Queen!! We are children of the Queen of Heaven!!
Also, all the concerns and problems that Pope Pius XII enumerates have come to pass. We are in such need of a rescue. It is Our Lady of Medjugorje, Queen of Peace, who has come! She is with us in Medjugorje to answer all the needs Pope Pius XII put in her hands.
As she said to us:

Little children, do not forget that you are all important in this great plan, which God leads through Medjugorje. God desires to convert the entire world and to call it to salvation and to the way towards Himself, who is the beginning and the end of every being. In a special way, little children, from the depth of my heart, I call you all to open yourselves to this great grace that God gives you through my presence here. I desire to thank each of you for the sacrifices and prayers. I am with you and I bless you all. Thank you for having responded to my call."

47.
Since we are convinced, after long and serious reflection, that great
good will accrue to the Church if this solidly established truth shines
forth more clearly to all, like a luminous lamp raised aloft, by Our
Apostolic authority We decree and establish the feast of Mary's
Queenship, which is to be celebrated every year in the whole world on
the 31st of May. (Note: it has since been transferred to August 22)
We likewise ordain that on the same day the consecration of the human
race to the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary be renewed,
cherishing the hope that through such consecration a new era may begin,
joyous in Christian peace and in the triumph of religion.
48. Let all, therefore, try to approach
with greater trust the throne of grace and mercy of our Queen and
Mother, and beg for strength in adversity, light in darkness,
consolation in sorrow; above all let them strive to free themselves from
the slavery of sin and offer an unceasing homage, filled with filial
loyalty, to their Queenly Mother. Let her churches be thronged by the
faithful, her feast-days honored; may the beads of the Rosary be in the
hands of all; may Christians gather, in small numbers and large, to sing
her praises in churches, in homes, in hospitals, in prisons. May Mary's
name be held in highest reverence, a name sweeter than honey and more
precious than jewels; may none utter blasphemous words, the sign of a
defiled soul, against that name graced with such dignity and revered for
its motherly goodness; let no one be so bold as to speak a syllable
which lacks the respect due to her name.
49. All, according to their state, should
strive to bring alive the wondrous virtues of our heavenly Queen and
most loving Mother through constant effort of mind and manner. Thus will
it come about that all Christians, in honoring and imitating their
sublime Queen and Mother, will realize they are truly brothers, and with
all envy and avarice thrust aside, will promote love among classes,
respect the rights of the weak, cherish peace. No one should think
himself a son of Mary, worthy of being received under her powerful
protection, unless, like her, he is just, gentle and pure, and shows a
sincere desire for true brotherhood, not harming or injuring but rather
helping and comforting others.
50. In some countries of the world there
are people who are unjustly persecuted for professing their Christian
faith and who are deprived of their divine and human rights to freedom;
up till now reasonable demands and repeated protests have availed
nothing to remove these evils. May the powerful Queen of creation, whose
radiant glance banishes storms and tempests and brings back cloudless
skies, look upon these her innocent and tormented children with eyes of
mercy; may the Virgin, who is able to subdue violence beneath her foot,
grant to them that they may soon enjoy the rightful freedom to practice
their religion openly, so that, while serving the cause of the Gospel,
they may also contribute to the strength and progress of nations by
their harmonious cooperation, by the practice of extraordinary virtues
which are a glowing example in the midst of bitter trials.
51. By this Encyclical Letter We are
instituting a feast so that all may recognize more clearly and venerate
more devoutly the merciful and maternal sway of the Mother of God. We
are convinced that this feast will help to preserve, strengthen and
prolong that peace among nations which daily is almost destroyed by
recurring crises. Is she not a rainbow in the clouds reaching
towards God, the pledge of a covenant of peace?[Gen 9:12-17] "Look upon
the rainbow, and bless Him that made it; surely it is beautiful in its
brightness. It encompasses the heaven about with the circle of its
glory, the hands of the Most High have displayed it." Whoever,
therefore, reverences the Queen of heaven and earth - and let no one
consider himself exempt from this tribute of a grateful and loving soul -
let him invoke the most effective of Queens, the Mediatrix of peace;
let him respect and preserve peace, which is not wickedness unpunished
nor freedom without restraint, but a well-ordered harmony under the rule
of the will of God; to its safeguarding and growth the gentle urgings
and commands of the Virgin Mary impel us.
52. Earnestly desiring that the Queen and
Mother of Christendom may hear these Our prayers, and by her peace make
happy a world shaken by hate, and may, after this exile show unto us
all Jesus, Who will be our eternal peace and joy, to you, Venerable
Brothers, and to your flocks, as a promise of God's divine help and a
pledge of Our love, from Our heart We impart the Apostolic Benediction.
Isn't this beautiful!!! Such a joy!!! Notice this sentence:
"We likewise ordain that on the same day the consecration
of the human race to the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary be
renewed, cherishing the hope that through such consecration a new era may begin, joyous in Christian peace and in the triumph of religion."
I believe that Satan noticed this sentence as well. He began in grave earnest in the 50's to destroy us all by unleashing the worst of all lies: "There is no God, you are God. There is no eternal life. This life is all you have." It was his last great effort to defeat God, by stealing away God's children. And so God sent the Mother, to retrieve her children and give them back to the real Father in Heaven, establishing a new time, a new era of peace.
Our Lady came to Medjugorje to begin the showdown with the enemy. And we are now her extended hands, her instruments in the battle. This is it!! We must fight with her.
Let us pray:
The Litany of the Queenship of Mary

Mary TV: August 21, 2019 Reflection - Be my extended hands...
(c)Mary TV 2019/Anthony Zubac
August 21, 2019
St Pius X
"The Rosary is the most beautiful and the most rich in graces of all prayers; it is the prayer that touches most the Heart of the Mother of God...and if you wish peace to reign in your homes, recite the family Rosary." (Pope St. Pius X)
Dear Family of Mary!
Denis and I have become more and more aware of the spiritual warfare surrounding Medjugorje in these days. The battle between light and darkness has intensified. In our Church, in our societies, in our work places and in our families, there is a battle going on. But we must be very clear about this, our enemy is Satan. Evil is a person. And that person is the Fallen Angel, Satan. Yes, many people are behaving in evil ways. But the one who is instigating it all is the Devil. And God still hopes to save each human being, no matter how seemingly lost. To do that Satan must be defeated.
And that defeat has been planned out in Heaven, by the Father. As St. Maximillian Kolbe said:
"The Immaculate alone has from God the promise of victory over Satan. She seeks souls that will consecrate themselves entirely to her, that will become in her hands forceful instruments for the defeat of Satan and the spread of God's kingdom."
Our Lady has received the promise of victory of Satan, and she is looking for souls who will become her instruments, who together with her will bring Satan's plans down. I believe that in Medjugorje, Our Lady launched her most concerted effort to form her faithful instruments. It is by living Our Lady's school in Medjugorje that we can be formed into reliable and trustworthy companions in the battle that Our Lady is waging against her adversary.
Our Lady's school is simple but powerful. She has arranged her teaching around 5 simple components:
Prayer
Fasting
The Holy Bible
Confession
The Holy Eucharist
These are her five stones! Similar to the five smooth stones that David picked up as he approached Goliath, these stones, though seemingly small and harmless, are in fact deadly for the Devil. Why? Because, when lived with the heart, they form us into faithful children of God, who will not be overcome by the assaults of the enemy, but instead will advance the Kingdom of Heaven by their lives.
Our Lady needs us to be those faithful children. She needs us to begin (or begin again) to live her messages, which all come out of these five stones. In living those messages, we will be her instruments who will help her build the new time, the time of Peace!!
So Denis and I want to begin a concerted effort to live the five stones, and to support all of you in living them. We believe that this is the best way to do spiritual warfare against the enemy. He would get us all tangled up in worries and fears, focusing on the evil and being discouraged. But we are called to focus on Our Lady and on her messages as the way to peace and hope. And If we do this successfully, we, under Our Lady's leadership, will help taken down the enemy of our souls and vanquished his kingdom.
During our Daily Rosary we will work on the "stones" and we will add a succinct Spiritual Warfare prayer as well. Thank you to all of you shipmates who join us in prayer. If you cannot pray with us, don't worry, you can live the 5 stones in any circumstance. We are all joined by our love of Mother Mary!! And she needs us to bring about her victory of the evil one.
Thank you for responding to Our Lady's call:

June 25, 2019 "Dear children! I am thanking God for each of you. In a special way, little children, thank you for having responded to my call. I am preparing you for the new times that you may be firm in faith and persevering in prayer, so that the Holy Spirit may work through you and renew the face of the earth. I am praying with you for peace which is the most precious gift, even though Satan wants war and hatred. You, little children, be my extended hands and proudly go with God. Thank you for having responded to my call."
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: August 20, 2019 Reflection - My children, surrender yourselves to Jesus...
(c)Mary TV 2019/Anthony Zubac
August 20, 2019
St. Bernard
Dear Family of Mary!
I keep coming back to the August 2, 2019 message, as if there is something in it that I am missing. I think it is becoming clearer to me now. I think this message is Our Lady's clarion call to us, a call to run to Jesus, to fix our eyes on Him, and to surrender to Him completely, now! As a good mother, she is calling us into safety. She sees a danger that is growing, and she wants her children to be protected. She wants us in the right place. And that place is in the Heart of her Son.
Here is the message again. Prayerfully read it with what I said in mind:

Dear children! Great is the love of my Son.
If you were to come to know the greatness of His love, you would never cease to adore and thank Him.
He is always alive with you in the Eucharist, because the Eucharist is His Heart.
The Eucharist is the heart of faith.
He has never left you.
Even when you tried to go away from Him, He has not [left] you.
That is why my motherly heart is happy when I watch how you-filled with love-return to Him,
when I see that you are coming to Him by the way of reconciliation, love, and hope.My motherly heart knows that when you set out on the way of faith, you are shoots-buds.
But along with prayer and fasting you will be fruits, my flowers, apostles of my love;
you will be carriers of light and will illuminate all those around you with love and wisdom.
My children, as a mother I am imploring you: pray, think, and contemplate.
Everything beautiful, painful and joyful that happens to you-all of this makes you grow spiritually, so that my Son may grow in you.
My children, surrender yourselves to Him,
believe Him,
trust in His love,
let Him lead you.
Let the Eucharist be the place where you will feed your souls,
and afterwards, will spread love and truth-will bear witness to my Son.
Thank you. (August 2, 2019)
Mother Mary is calling us to her Son, in the depths of our hearts,
to find Him. She knows that we need to be totally His, or we will be
washed away in the flood of disbelief that threatens us. There is no
more time to waste. Run to Jesus! Fix your eyes on His beautiful Face.
Open your heart to His love. Be forgiven by Him in the Sacrament of
Reconciliation. Receive His Body and His Blood. Adore Him in the Blessed
Sacrament. Speak to Him all day long. Serve Him in your neighbor. Trust
Him in every situation. Be filled with His peace and give it to others.
Mary has been drawing us to her Son for 38 years. We cannot resist any longer.
Mary has been drawing us to her Son for 38 years. We cannot resist any longer.
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!

Mary TV: August 19, 2019 Reflection - Great is the love of my Son!
(c)Mary TV 2019/Anthony Zubac
August 19, 2019
St. John Eudes
Dear Family of Mary!
Today we remember St. John Eudes, who understood the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, and the great love that awaits us in Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. He once said:
St. John Eudes
Dear Family of Mary!
Today we remember St. John Eudes, who understood the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, and the great love that awaits us in Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. He once said:
You
should adore our Lord Jesus Christ, who makes Himself present to us on
the altar, so that we might offer him the homage and adoration we owe.
Pray that just as He changes the lower earthly nature of bread and wine
into His Body and Blood he might change and transform also the
sluggishness, coldness and dryness of our earthly and arid heart into
the fire, tenderness and agility of the holy divine affections and
dispositions of His divine and heavenly heart. Then you should remember
that Christians are one with Jesus Christ, as members with their head . .
.. They should also be there as hosts and victims who are but one host
just as they are one priest with Jesus Christ. They need to be immolated
and sacrificed with the same Jesus Christ for the glory of God.
Our Lady was the first adorer of Jesus. From the moment of
Jesus' conception in her womb, she adored Him, present within her. Her
child is her God! She has urged us to adore Jesus, to spend time with
Him and to contemplate His merciful Heart. In this adoration, we are
healed and changed forever. In this loving encounter, we become who we
are meant to be, true children of God. Here are some messages that Mary
has given us. They are food for our souls in this perilous time, when
love for God is being snuffed out all around us. But NOT in us!!
April 02, 2019"Dear children,
as a mother who knows her children, I know that you are crying out for
my Son. I know that you are crying out for truth, for peace, for that
which is pure and not deceptive. That is why I, as a mother, through the
love of God, am addressing you and calling you that, by prayer and a
pure and open heart within yourselves, you may come to know my Son - His
love, His merciful heart. My Son saw beauty in all things. He seeks the
good in all souls - even that which is little and hidden - so as to
forgive evil. Therefore, my children, apostles of my love, I am calling
you to adore Him, to ceaselessly give Him thanks, and to be worthy.
Because He has spoken to you divine words, the words of God, the words
which are for all and forever. Therefore, my children, live joy,
radiance, unity and mutual love. This is what you need in today's world.
In this way you will be apostles of my love. In this way you will
witness my Son in the right way. Thank you."
August 02, 2019 "Dear children,
great is the love of my Son. If you were to come to know the greatness
of His love, you would never cease to adore and thank Him. He is always
alive with you in the Eucharist, because the Eucharist is His Heart. The
Eucharist is the heart of faith. He has never left you. Even when you
tried to go away from Him, He has not left you. That is why my motherly
heart is happy when I watch how you - filled with love - return to Him,
when I see that you are coming to Him by the way of reconciliation,
love, and hope. My motherly heart knows that when you set out on the way
of faith, you are shoots - buds. But along with prayer and fasting you
will be fruits, my flowers, apostles of my love; you will be carriers of
light and will illuminate all those around you with love and wisdom. My
children, as a mother I am imploring you: pray, think, and contemplate.
Everything beautiful, painful and joyful that happens to you - all of
this makes you grow spiritually, so that my Son may grow in you. My
children, surrender yourselves to Him, believe Him, trust in His love,
let Him lead you. Let the Eucharist be the place where you will feed
your souls, and afterwards, will spread love and truth - will bear
witness to my Son. Thank you."
July 2, 2009 "Dear children! I am
calling you because I need you. I need hearts ready for immeasurable
love. Hearts that are not burdened by vanity. Hearts that are ready to
love as my Son loved, that are ready to sacrifice themselves as my Son
sacrificed Himself. I need you. In order to come with me, forgive
yourselves, forgive others and adore my Son. Adore Him also for those
who have not come to know Him, those who do not love Him... Therefore, I
need you. Therefore, I call you. Thank you."
In Jesus, Mary and Joseph!Cathy Nolan

Sister Emmanuel's Report from Medjugorje for August 2019
Medjugorje, August 18, 2019
Dear children of Medjugorje, praised be Jesus and Mary!
1. On August 2nd, 2019, Mirjana received her monthly apparition at the Blue Cross, surrounded by a large crowd of pilgrims. After the apparition, she conveyed this message:
"Dear children, great is the love of my Son. If you were to come to know the greatness of His love, you would never cease to adore and thank Him. He is always alive with you in the Eucharist, because the Eucharist is His Heart. The Eucharist is the heart of faith. He has never left you. Even when you tried to go away from Him, He has not [left] you. That is why my motherly heart is happy when I watch how you-filled with love-return to Him, when I see that you are coming to Him by the way of reconciliation, love, and hope. My motherly heart knows that when you set out on the way of faith, you are shoots-buds. But along with prayer and fasting you will be fruits, my flowers, apostles of my love; you will be carriers of light and will illuminate all those around you with love and wisdom. My children, as a mother I am imploring you: pray, think, and contemplate. Everything beautiful, painful and joyful that happens to you-all of this makes you grow spiritually, so that my Son may grow in you. My children, surrender yourselves to Him, believe Him, trust in His love, let Him lead you. Let the Eucharist be the place where you will feed your souls, and afterwards, will spread love and truth-will bear witness to my Son. Thank you."
As on all sites linked to Medjugorje, at the request of the authorities, we won't post the video of Mirjana's apparition as before. Obedience is always blessed!
2. "Little children, trials will come!" The Queen of the Prophets has never been clearer than today, and that is no accident (See PS1). The worst thing for us to do would be to ignore her warning, because it is serious. For 38 years, she has shown us the way to peace and even to prosperity (see message of 25 Dec. 1999 for the 3rd millennium.) But despite her warnings about the risks we take by not listening to her, her children's response has been too weak. She must now warn us that difficult times are near. As if the world weren't already going through hard times! Kyrie eleison! Take note, however, we are not talking about the end of the world. In fact, Mary tells us about future generations, she is "preparing us for the New Times", and of course for the triumph of her Immaculate Heart. Obviously, when a mother prepares her child for something, she does not prepare him for an event in the future that he will not experience. On the contrary, she prepares her child for what he will see in his lifetime. In other words, you and I will probably see these New Times!
Every triumph is preceded by a conflict or a battle, for one does not triumph over peace. We are already in the middle of this battle. That much is obvious. So many wounds, so much suffering! The closer victory approaches, the more intense the battle becomes, because the enemy, seeing the end of his power closing in, behaves like an aggressive animal before collapsing having been wounded to death.
With God it is never too late. We may no longer be able to prevent trials from happening, but we can soften and shorten them. Far be it from me to want to explain here the kinds of trials that await us, let us instead focus on ways to draw upon God's grace and His extraordinary mercy so that we may survive in the midst of these waves that overpower us.
Every authentic prophecy contains its share of hope, and today Mary tells us where to find true refuge, the one that never deceives: The Heart of her Son Jesus, who will always remain present to us through the Eucharist. "He is still alive with you in the Eucharist, for the Eucharist is his Heart. The Eucharist is the heart of faith. He has never abandoned you, even when you tried to move away from Him..." She also said, "Those of my children who have faith - true faith - are happy no matter what, because they begin to experience heavenly happiness while on earth." Now who are those who have true faith? Those who cling to Christ with their whole being.
The assurances offered to us by the world and its excessive materialism can no longer assure us of anything. If I take out life insurance, it only works when I'm dead! Jesus alone is our true security, our safe haven, our true Life insurance!
3."Sin will reign", Mary said. "But if you are mine, you will overcome it because your refuge will be the Heart of my Son Jesus. That is why the world needs worshipers, to allow the Lord to reign again in the heart of the world. Mary asked that there be a chapel of perpetual adoration in each parish. Seeing her Son adored by His children is her most treasured dream. When we adore Jesus hidden in the tabernacle, or exposed on the altar, even if distractions may disturb us, Jesus is there alive, He radiates in the invisible and He acts in our souls! His whole life is there before us, like an open book with gushing flames. We are gradually transformed, because we are filled and enriched with Him. Why do so many Catholics today doubt the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist? Don't they know that Satan himself is aware of this presence? Why do Satanists, who always seek to prolong Christ's passion with their sacrileges, smash tabernacles to steal the hosts? Don't they have enough bakeries near their homes to find bread?
It is beautiful to see that Jesus extends his divine rays of love and light not only on those who adore Him, but that this powerful radiation of love extends even to the surroundings! We move from the natural to the supernatural, and fruit is borne. I know a priest whose mission is to create chapels of perpetual adoration in the parishes that invite him. He told me that in 1984, the city of Trieste had the highest suicide rate in all of Italy. Not to mention other evils such as crime, rape, theft, divorces, abortions, occult practices, etc. These statistics are in the city's records. That very year, he founded a chapel of perpetual adoration. Well, in just one year, the suicide rate fell by one half!
4. Rome has arrived! Thanks to the good work of Bishop Hoser, the Pope's envoy for the pastoral care of Medjugorje, many prelates did not shy away from coming to celebrate the Eucharist in Medjugorje in recent weeks! From Rome came Archbishop Rino Fisichella, President of the Pontifical Counsel for the New Evangelization and Cardinal Angelo De Donatis; and then the Cardinal of Sarajevo, Mgr. Pulic; The Apostolic Nuncio for Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mgr. Luiggi Pezzuto.
Even France is starting to budge! We already had Mgr. Dominique Rey, Bishop of Toulon, then the Archbishop of Avignon, Mgr. Jean-Pierre Cattenoz.
Mgr. Dominique Rey, Bishop of Toulon
This marks a new turning point for the Marian Shrine of Medjugorje, which is very positive and promising! 5. When there are too many mosquitoes in a room, a device is plugged in that emits a scent or sound that scares them away. Our prayer, on the other hand, is like an incense that rises to God, like a fragrance that delights His heart. And prayer annoys the demons so much that they run away from this incense. So let us not forget this touching confidence disclosed by Our Lady in May 2017: "The prayers you address to me are the most beautiful roses of love for me. I cannot fail to be there where I smell the scent of roses!" Do you know that each of our Ave Maria's is a rose offered to the Mother of God?
6. Van and France. Because several people have expressed a great interest in the young Vietnamese Marcel Van whom I quoted in July, here is a new text that concerns France. I hope it will speak not only to the hearts of my dear people, but also to those from other countries who will take into their hearts this blessed country who should behave as the elder daughter of the Churchand who is still so far from it! Jesus (Nov. 12 1945)! O little apostle of my love, everywhere in France my love is calling out for help. And what help is it asking for? For the relief of prayer which, by reviving the flame of love, will make the hearts of the enemies of my love more pliable. In order to do the right thing, wherever there are French people, the incense of prayer should rise up to my love. O France, I love you; and you French people, do you actually know what the feelings of my heart are towards you? Do you see my tears mingling with those of a foreigner who is busy writing down the words I am dictating to him here, for you? O France, I press you in my arms, I give you a kiss. It is not possible that you should take advantage of this mark of tenderness to strike me in the face. Alas! You, the children of the country I particularly love, how will you behave towards my love? Will you deliberately throw it out of your home? O priests of the country that I particularly love, I am a fugitive who is seeking asylum in your home. What welcome do you want to give to my love? Will I be chased away or eagerly welcomed? O my children, I do not want to allow my love to move away from France. O France! Country that I love more than others, hear the call of my love. People of France, my children, if you push my love away from you, what other love could you possibly use to lift up France? If there is no love to lift France, then France will be covered in thick smoke rising from hell, and in that case, she will become a country opposed to my love and will eventually be destroyed. But, my child, humble child of my love, if prayers from trusting, simple and pure hearts are brought up to me, later you will see me smiling happily at the land I love. " (Conversations 92) See PS 3.

Isaiah 54:10
Sister Emmanuel + Community of the Beatitudes (Translated from French)
PS1. Message from July 25, 2019: "Dear children, my call for you is prayer. May prayer be joy for you and a wreath which binds you to God. Little children, trials will come, and you will not be strong, and sin will reign. But if you are mine, you will win, because your refuge will be the Heart of my Son Jesus. Therefore, little children, return to prayer until prayer becomes life for you in the day and the night. Thank you for having responded to my call." PS2. Ivan the visionary was recently in Medjugorje! On August 12th, Mary entrusted him with this message at the Blue Cross where we were invited: "Dear children, in this time of mercy, in a special way, I wish to call you to prayer - perseverance in prayer. So many times, I have said that my Son has allowed me to stay here together with you because I wish to teach you and to raise you - educate you -, because I wish to lead you to my Son. Therefore, decide for Him! Put Jesus in the first place in your families. Pray in front of Him, so that you can receive graces. The Mother prays for all of you and intercedes for you to her Son." PS3. The Youth Festival in Medjugorje was a shower of blessings! It was followed this year on the Internet by more than 2.8 million people. Unheard of! On August 4, for the feast of St Jean Vianney, 714 priests co-celebrated Mass.

PS4. Hong Kong in trouble! Seeing the very serious events happening there, we suggest that we start a special chain of prayer and fasting for Hong Kong, until peace is settle back! An appeal has been sent to many friends, remembering these words from the Gospa: "Only by prayer and fasting can the war be stopped."

NB: This is the correct translation of Mary's message to Ivan, of July 5, "Dear children, at this time, I especially desire to call you to decide for God. Put God in your lives and in your families in the first place. Leave the passing things of this world, materialism, all that distances you from my Son. Decide firmly. Live my messages. I desire to continue to lead you-to lead you to my Son-that in Him you may find true and real peace and love. Thank you, dear children, for also today having responded to my call. Go in peace my dear children."

PS1. Message from July 25, 2019: "Dear children, my call for you is prayer. May prayer be joy for you and a wreath which binds you to God. Little children, trials will come, and you will not be strong, and sin will reign. But if you are mine, you will win, because your refuge will be the Heart of my Son Jesus. Therefore, little children, return to prayer until prayer becomes life for you in the day and the night. Thank you for having responded to my call." PS2. Ivan the visionary was recently in Medjugorje! On August 12th, Mary entrusted him with this message at the Blue Cross where we were invited: "Dear children, in this time of mercy, in a special way, I wish to call you to prayer - perseverance in prayer. So many times, I have said that my Son has allowed me to stay here together with you because I wish to teach you and to raise you - educate you -, because I wish to lead you to my Son. Therefore, decide for Him! Put Jesus in the first place in your families. Pray in front of Him, so that you can receive graces. The Mother prays for all of you and intercedes for you to her Son." PS3. The Youth Festival in Medjugorje was a shower of blessings! It was followed this year on the Internet by more than 2.8 million people. Unheard of! On August 4, for the feast of St Jean Vianney, 714 priests co-celebrated Mass.

PS4. Hong Kong in trouble! Seeing the very serious events happening there, we suggest that we start a special chain of prayer and fasting for Hong Kong, until peace is settle back! An appeal has been sent to many friends, remembering these words from the Gospa: "Only by prayer and fasting can the war be stopped."

NB: This is the correct translation of Mary's message to Ivan, of July 5, "Dear children, at this time, I especially desire to call you to decide for God. Put God in your lives and in your families in the first place. Leave the passing things of this world, materialism, all that distances you from my Son. Decide firmly. Live my messages. I desire to continue to lead you-to lead you to my Son-that in Him you may find true and real peace and love. Thank you, dear children, for also today having responded to my call. Go in peace my dear children."
